A judge is ordering Georgia to draw new congressional and state legislative maps after finding the current maps illegally discriminate against Black voters.
Not actually mentioned in the NPR article for some reason but:
Jones ordered Georgia’s Republican majority General Assembly and governor to take action before Dec. 8, saying he would redraw districts if lawmakers did not, and that he would not allow the 2024 elections to be conducted using districts he has found to be “unlawful.”

Hopefully it helps to get rid of Margarine Tainted Green.
I would have thought an appeal would throw a monkey wrench into the works, is that not the case?
Yeah I’m curious about that. My interpenetration was that they could keep drawing crap maps right before elections, get denied, but there not be enough time left to fix. That they could keep this up to get their bad maps to be used during elections.
